See how the baby carrier dwarfed me? That was me in the hospital before going home. I left the hospital after about 10 days over there, most of the times under the blue lights inside the incubator. But other than that, I was OK.

Mommy was very nervous that day. During the last couple of days, the midwives had been patiently showing her the ropes. They taught her how to bathe me, how to feed me, how to change my nappy, how to make my feed (milk), and basically to reassure her that she would be OK.

Mommy was scared, she told me. She said that she was worried that she would mess up, after all, that was her first time taking care of a baby. She said that she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to be a good Mommy.

I told her that it would be OK.

And it is.
